Bed Bugs

Bed bugs have extraordinarily small bodies with a brown camouflage, they lay eggs everywhere, and are easily transferred, allowing them to infest entire homes and businesses. Bed bugs, often found in mattresses, bedding, clothing, furniture, and more can be recognized by the musty odor they exude, the brown and black spots on infected surfaces, blood stains on mattresses and bedding from crushed bed bugs, or their bite marks. Bed bug bites emit a burning sensation and generally are several red marks in a precise line.

Ants

Carpenter ants are only one species of ants which could infest your home or business. They have large black bodies and typically nest in wood able to retain moisture and easily accessible from the soil like wood porch structures, window frames, and door frames. You have an infestation if you see swarms of flying ants in the spring around wood structures, these are the adult ants leaving the nest to find new territory. Another sign of a carpenter ant infestation is wood dust or small piles of wood shavings found close to older damp wood.

Roach

The American cockroach is the largest species of cockroaches invading homes. They have a reddish brown or mahogany color with a yellow band outlining the area behind their head. Found anywhere food or moisture is present, these cockroaches are about two inches long and both the females and males can fly. They give off a musty smell and as they mature become more reddish brown. These cockroaches will hide in damp dark places.

Wasp

There are many species of wasps, ranging from microscopic to 1 ½” in size and ranging in color from black to metallic blues and greens and from reddish-brown to dark red and orange. Most wasps have a pinched waist and two pairs of wings. Wasps will nest in several places surrounding your home including hose reels, electrical boxes, soffits, decks, in the corners of windows, under awnings and porches, attics, crawl spaces, and gas grills. If you have a colony of wasps, there could be thousands of wasps living in the nest.

Rodent

Rodents are among the most adaptable and diseased critters to infest homes. They are extremely difficult to exterminate due to their rapid and constant breeding habits. Several species of rodents have the capability to squeeze into spaces much smaller than themselves, making even the smallest holes or cracks entrances to your home. Like many unwanted pests, rodents will cause severe damage to your home or business, excessive chewing and breeding will take a toll on your home’s structure.

Risks of Squirrel Infestation

Although uncommon, squirrels potentially pose serious health and safety risks to humans. When squirrels make themselves at home in your attic or other parts of your home or business, they will start to procreate. As generations build up, the squirrels may chew up electrical wires, causing significant damage and electricity problems-- costing you even more money to repair.

Beyond the damage to your home and business squirrels may generate, they also pose serious health risks. The most prominent health risk passed from squirrels to humans are ticks and fleas. These may not sound like dangers or even health risks, but the ticks squirrels leave in your home can spread tick fever to you and your pets. Both fleas and ticks pose a second threat of infestation as well. Notorious for infesting carpets and furniture, their small size makes eradication extremely difficult.

It is rare for a squirrel to carry rabies, and in most squirrel bite cases, the hospital won’t even treat you for rabies. Squirrels, however, can pass on Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease spread through the contact of urine. If a squirrel has this disease and you eat or drink food contaminated with its urine, or your skin (or mucous membranes) comes in contact with water or soil contaminated with the infected squirrel’s urine, the disease can be transferred to you.

Another serious disease squirrels could carry is the Plague. This disease can be transferred to humans through a bite or direct contact with the infected animal. There is no telling which squirrels are infected with disease and which are not. It is safer to have a professional Milwaukee exterminator eradicate squirrels from your home or business rather than trying to get rid of them yourself.

At Home Remedies For Squirrels in Your Attic

Squirrels enter attics by chewing through vents and roofs or climbing through chimneys. Possessing extreme climbing and biting abilities, squirrels are one of the most difficult rodents to eliminate. However, you may try these at-home squirrel removal tips before calling our Milwaukee pest control specialists:

Install LED bulbs or pest control strobes designed to irritate rodents

Place wire mesh fencing over any open holes, vents, chimney areas and other openings. Create a funnel exit at the end of the attic, allowing the pests to leave but keeping them from coming back in.

Set cage traps and seal entry points after they leave

Although these techniques are helpful, they may not be permanent. Squirrels can attempt to chew through sealed areas and may replace the ones you eliminated. You may also have difficulty working in the attic during mating season. Save yourself the hassle of a high electric bill or repeat infestation by calling A-Landlords. Our Milwaukee rodent exterminators utilize the latest industry expertise and safety training to provide the best squirrel removal solution for every customer. We will thoroughly examine your attic, determining the seriousness of infestation and the right method to quickly eliminate every squirrel.
